Photographer's Thoughts
As a small business owner myself, I enjoy working with other brand owners. I strongly believe in friendly collaboration over competition. Khanh has been my close friend for ages, so it was a perfect partnership for us to work together. All of Khanh's outfits worn in these photos are from her shop. Aren't they gorgeous? I love a pop of color of the dress against a neutral background; and I think she did an amazing job designing these beautiful outfits. We went to 4 different locations in order to make these looks come to life: Railway Heights Market, the Post Market, Happy Goat Retreats, and Uptown Park.
